Poster ; We studied 10 dehesas of CW Spain (40º 00â-10â N, 06º 10â-20â W), mapping every habitat according to a standardized protocol developed by the European BioBio project. We defined 35 habitat types, with 19 habitat types (split in 85 plots) per dehesa, on average. In one randomly selected plot per habitat type diversity of the four taxa, plants, bees, spiders and earthworms, were assessed. In...
Poster ; In the last decade, hardwood plantations have substantially increased in many Spanish regions. In order to grow trees for high quality timber in short rotations, an intensive management, with high economic and environmental costs. The control of competing herbaceous vegetation is required for avoiding tree-herbage competition and fire risk. Silvopastoral management could allow reducing the economic co...
Poster ; We analyze the effect of shrub understory on the functioning and persistence of Iberian dehesas (grazed open woodlands). We study the effect of two contrasting, in terms of morphological traits and reproductive strategy, shrub species: Retama sphaerocarpa (a deep rooted shrub) and Citus ladanifer (a shallow rooted shrub), in order to account for specie-specific effects, on neighboring vegetation (tree...
Presentation ; Europe, and particulartly Spain, have a shortage of quality wood. Indeed, there is a growing interest from many owners into these species with intensive management, which are compatible with the implantation of silvopastoral systems. The fertilization is one of the most controversial management practices that is used for reducing rotation length. The implantation of legumes, which are able to fi...
